Author Brad Mengel returns for a discussion of another forgotten superhero movie. This time, we discuss 1990's Dark Avenger, a fairly shoddy attempt at capitalizing on the success of Batman '89, but features a fun performance from Maggie Han and some surprise cameos from the likes of Ken Jenkins and Robert Vaughn.

Tyler Patrick of the Krypton Report Podcast makes his debut on the show to discuss The Crow: Salvation, the third film in a series that seems cursed with mediocrity. Featuring a pre-Spider-Man Kirsten Dunst and a great performance from a then-unknown Walton Goggins. We've got some thoughts on the things this film did decently, and spots where they dropped the ball.
